14 years old, worked as a Carny at the county fair. I worked the "wacky wire" booth. After the two weeks, I was paid in cash, all $1's, haha.
I got that game wired. Went to other fairs just to play that game and win my ladies a prize. I thought I was big pimpin winning all these cheap ass teddy bears.

and, speaking of first jobs, am I the only one who was already selling grass to my fellow restaurant workers at age 14?

Man, the 90's were awesome.

I narced on a group of about 30, once. They were in the park with a keg, and I let them know that they couldn't have it there. They chuckled and said that they had a permit from the town. I went around the corner and radioed it in. When they cruiser got there, they clearly all knew each other, and laughed that I called the cops on the cops.

My first non-under the table job was at Swensen's Ice Cream in Westwood. I'd just turned 16.
Had to cut my hair, wear a faggy brown gingham button up shirt with a bow tie. Pfffft!
A surfing buddy of mine worked there too.
We'd get to work a half hour early and get baked out back and then eat a $hit ton of free ice cream.
End of the night we'd hit the empty whip cream bottles (he-he-he).:monkey:
Lasted about 2 months. C-YA!

8 or 9yo: Picked raspberries at a PYO farm, then packaged them and sold them off our little toy cart.
10yo: Opened bicycle repair shop in our basement with a mate.
Then a slew of strange jobs.

Grocery bagger. To this day I hate having anyone else bag my groceries. Can't believe some of these kids call themselves professionals.

I was refereeing soccer games for little 8 year olds and under at 14

by 16 was getting fronted a pound of weed per week to sell for my dealer, he gave a flat price and I kept the profit

this continued later with mushies and ecstasy for a while, the latter which I blew my brain out with. took nearly a year to recover properly o_O

You first...
my first non-paying job was assistant for my career fireman dad who ran a handyman business on the days he wasn’t working. First paying job was helping out the owner at the Barq’s Rootbeer bottling plant. My first real paying job was bellhop at the Fiesta Lounge/Cabana Beach motel. I worked nights and went to high school during the day.

90% of the time, I'm bagging my own groceries. It's weird to watch people just stand there while the cashier rings them up.

I found my first job at the age of 14, it was not difficult and not of a physical nature, in this work I had to use only my head and thinking processes. Then I found a job on the Internet and I had to evaluate sites and write reviews. I make money online, and continue to do so, because it became very convenient for me to work on the Internet rather than going to some kind of work every day, getting up early in the morning and rushing to work. I am used to this order of things and it pleases me that I got a job online. To be honest, I have always dreamed of working online and not going to a real job, and my dream began to slowly come true from the age of 14, when I joined the work on the Internet.
